FRAME 01 · PHOTOS

Photos finds the shots you took twice

Photos reads your Apple Photos library through PhotoKit and compares pictures with Apple's Vision framework, on your Mac. No photo is uploaded. It groups the photos you probably don't need and leaves every decision to you.

FRAME 02 · WHAT IT FINDS

What Photos finds

  • Exact duplicates

    The same photo saved or imported more than once.

  • Look-alike sets

    Photos taken seconds apart that look nearly the same. CleanLoupe picks the best shot of each set and keeps it.

  • Screenshots

    Screen captures that pile up in your library long after you needed them.

  • Large videos

    Videos of 200 MB or more, largest first.

  • Blurry or badly exposed photos

    Shots Vision scores low for quality. Photos you marked as favorites are never flagged.

FRAME 03 · SAFETY

How Photos keeps your files safe

  • The best shot of every look-alike set is kept for you.
  • macOS asks you to confirm before anything is deleted, and deleted photos stay in the Photos Recently Deleted album for 30 days.
  • Photos needs access to your library. Without it, the module and Smart Scan simply skip your photos.
  • All analysis runs on your Mac with Vision. No photo leaves your computer.
